What does this mean? What changes can be done? As of now it doesn’t seem like anything I’d be interested in without knowing the info on what jailbreaks does to a sync 3

Changing the background/look without Forscan + even more customization options there is probably a start. Possibly access some toggles for buttons in developer mode/that Ford disabled (could I somehow make the heated steering wheel button on the main HVAC controls screen?). That said I'd jailbreak my phone back in the days when I had more free time, but these days it's too much hassle for minor fixes. Jailbreaking my car sounds like a big problem waiting to happen.

Eh. I don’t support jailbreaks. Older days was cool to tether devices on iPhone but now the phone from Apple does everything I need, jailbreaking lost it’s support as the os matured.

That being said, my hesdunit does everything that i want it to do. Can’t say I’d jailbreak it myself. Seems pointless other than someone wanting those small things and risking bricking the sync 3

I just like that it means you could in theory upload photos of your own car or that you like for a new background. Perhaps even a custom theme, depending on how the OS works and the rights that you gain.
